Employee Recognition Budgets, Without the Surprises
Matter publishes its pricing, starts paid plans at $1 per user per month, and the median reward redemption is $30. The weekly coin reset prevents the month-end point-dumping that blows up accrual-based budgets.
Finance & Procurement
Published pricing, a $30 median redemption, and a weekly reset that prevents point-dumping.
Points programs are liabilities in disguise
Accumulating-point platforms build a growing redemption liability and a month-end dumping pattern that makes spend spiky and hard to forecast. Matter's allowance resets weekly, so recognition stays frequent and spend stays smooth.
Redemptions skew small and frequent, a $30 median with 40% under $25, and the Free Forever plan means the pilot costs nothing.
How Matter keeps spend predictable
Weekly resets, published pricing, and a pilot that costs nothing.
1. Weekly-reset economics
No accruing point liability, no month-end dump, published per-user pricing.
2. Budget controls
Set allowances and celebration budgets that hold at any headcount. Rewards are funded transparently and self-served, with weekly allowances that reset.
3. Rewards calculator
Forecast annual reward spend before you commit a dollar.
A pilot that costs nothing
Start on Free Forever with unlimited users in Slack or Microsoft Teams, confirm the numbers, and upgrade only when the program has proven itself.
No separate logins
Recognition happens inside Slack or Microsoft Teams. No new accounts to create, no passwords to reset, ever.
User management syncs itself
Membership follows your Slack or Teams directory automatically. No HRIS required to start, and 250+ supported when you want them.
About 2 minutes to set up
Install Matter, add it to a channel, and your team can start recognizing each other the same day.
What the data says about reward spend
Redemptions skew small and frequent, which makes them forecastable.
- $30 median reward redemption; small and frequent beats large and rare.
- 40% of redemptions come in under $25.
The reward options that you can redeem Matter coins for are unrivaled! Definitely the most extensive selection of companies/gift cards to choose from.

Frequently asked questions
How do we forecast reward spend?
Use the rewards budget calculator to model coin settings, celebration budgets, and per-employee cost before committing.
Can we pay monthly?
Yes. Paid tiers offer monthly billing alongside annual pricing.
What does Matter cost?
Every workspace starts with a free 14-day trial of everything, no credit card required, then lands on the Free Forever plan. Paid plans start at $1 per user per month. Full details on the pricing page.
How do we get people to actually use it?
Recognition needs a rhythm, not a launch email. Companies that use Matter's Feedback Friday™ reminders give 2.5x more recognition, because the prompt arrives every week whether or not anyone remembers to send it.
Already using another recognition tool?
Switching is a smaller project than it sounds. Your balances come with you, the migration is free on paid plans, and most teams are live within days. Historical kudos do not carry over, so you start with a clean feed and full balances.
